CONTEXT
International conference on full-field measurement techniques and their applications in experimental solid mechanics
The chairs of PhotoMechanics – iDICs 2021 would like to welcome you to Nantes, in November 2021. This 7th PhotoMechanics – iDICs conference follows on the series of highly successful PhotoMechanics conferences held in 2018 (Toulouse, France), 2015 (Delft, Netherlands), 2013 (Montpellier, France), 2011 (Brussels, Belgium), 2008 (Loughborough, UK) and 2006 (Clermont-Ferrand, France), and IDICs conferences held in 2019 (Portland, US), 2018 (Hangzhou, CHN), 2017 (Barcelona, ES) and 2016 (Philadelphia, US).
Organized by Ecole Centrale Nantes, the conference will be held in Nantes (France) in November 2021, from Wednesday 3rd to Friday 5th, at “La Cité Nantes Events Center”, within 5 minutes walking distance of hotels, restaurants and cultural activities.
COVID-19: official measures
The french government has recently implemented a health pass that is mandatory to access leisure and culture venues and events bringing together more than 50 people. Read more here.
TOPICS
Main purpose: full-field measurement techniques and their impact on the mechanical characterization of materials and structures. Join the conference and propose a contribution as an oral presentation or a poster among these topics:
• Surface and volumetric measurements
• Thermography
• High and ultra-high speed
• In-situ and small scale measurements
• Uncertainty quantification
• Algorithms and Computational techniques
• Identification and Inverses methods
• Educational uses for full field measurements, Standardization, Best Practices.
Workshop on uncertainties in DIC measurements
The workshop will gather academic and industrial participants, in order to address the qualification of DIC measurements in an industrial context. Access is free, but registration is mandatory. Read more here.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The purpose of the PhotoMechanics – iDICs 2021 conference is to provide an international forum for academics and practitioners to promote the new possibilities offered by full-field measurement techniques and to discuss their impact on the mechanical characterization of materials and structures.
Organizing committee: Julien Réthoré, Seghir Rian, Michel Coret, Anne-Laure Fauchille, Marc François.
We hope that this 7th edition will gather the participants over these last decades in order to celebrate together the vitality of our community!
